Damn, another legend lost to cancer, and around the same age as Bowie and Lemmy as well. This has been a pretty shitty start to the year so far...

    Rough year so far....terrible.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    OMG! I just read the news. I am so sad. I loved his work. I think David Bowie and Alan Rickman were both 69, weren't they? What a sad week. I'm sad.

    I think most people remember him from Die Hard or the Harry Potter movies but he worked in several genres. Loved him in Galaxy Quest. There's also a wonderful, sweet movie that I don't think anybody saw but me: Truly, Madly, Deeply.

    RIP Mr. Rickman.

    Alan Rickman was such a fine actor. And that voice! Really bummed to hear about this.

    R.I.P. Mr Rickman.

    I was going to post this, WP, and of course you would know Truly, Madly, Deeply - what a great movie. (Although I agree - he is brilliant in Galaxy Quest.)

    That sucks. :frowning: I have never seen Harry Potter, so I remember him best from Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. Like the movie or not (I like it!), he was sooooooo amazingly good in that movie as the Sheriff of Nottingham!

    He was in a movie "Something the Lord Made" about the first heart surgery, and the Blaylock-Teusing [Thomas] shunt.

    Kevin Costner. Rickman's role is often highlighted as that movie's only redeemable quality, lol, but it's a really fucking entertaining movie! It is 100% true that Rickman steals the show acting-wise in it.

    I am devastated and heartbroken by this, I cried this morning when I found out, he is one of my all time faves and I adored him beyond comprehension, I am simply crushed...it is a black day indeed. Rest In Peace Mr. Rickman!

    He was fantastic in Dogma and in Robin Hood. He played devilishly bad so well. This week has made me sad.

    RIP

    edit - All day I cried and called in sick to work.
    My life has stopped with this news.
    Such an incredible man, touched the worlds heart everywhere.
    Such darkness in the world that an actor like this has perished.
    It is hard to type through these tears.

    Why did you feel the need to post this? I'm genuinely curious as to what you get out of these snide and sarcastic remarks
